1. What do you think is important for your students to remember about Western Civilization after they've left college? After reading this chapter, do you feel this book would help you accomplish this goal?





2. Sherman and Salisbury treat art and illustrations in this text differently than the way most texts do. Because Sherman and Salisbury are treating the art/illustrations as a primary source, and have integrated them into the narrative, the students are given another vehicle for studying history. Do you find this approach useful? Do you think your students would respond well to this treatment?





3. Sherman and Salisbury's treatment of maps is unique. How? Would your students benefit from this approach?





4. What pedagogical feature at the beginning and end of each chapter helps students organize and place into context the events and concepts about which they are reading? Do you find this to be an advantage?





5. How does the narrative style of this chapter compare with the book you are currently using?





6. One of the goals of Sherman and Salisbury is to weave together the complex relationship of Western and World history. Name one example of this from the chapter.





7. How do you feel about the length of this chapter? Do you feel that it covers the material sufficiently? Does the chapter allow for outside, additional reading? Do you feel it allows you sufficient freedom for lecture purposes?

9. At the end of each chapter, we provide a pedagogical tool to help students think critically about what they've just learned, and what they will learn in upcoming chapters. What is this section called? Do you find it helpful for students?




10. As a study tool, we have placed marginal notes alongside the text, for which we have received strong positive feedback from students. How might a student use this feature to study for your class?
